To all 'whom 1f-may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. SELZ, a

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents the blank from which the bottle is formed,

Fig. 2 represents, in perspective, the bottle formed from the blank, certain portlons.

being broken away to more clearly illustrate the parts behind the same, and

Fig. 3 is a similar view of a slightly modilied form inwhich the folds along the upper portion of the bottle are exterior thereto instead of interior, as shown in Fig. 2.

The blank from which the bottle is formed is divided by the score lines 14, 15,

l6 and 17, and slits 10, 11, and 12, 18, into a bottom 1, sides 2 and 3, projecting -,in opposite directions from the bottom, side members 4, 5, projecting laterally from the side 2, side members 6, 7, projecting laterally from the side 3, and flaps 8, 9, projecting from the bottom 1 at right angles to the sides 2 and 3. f

In the completed bottle, the side members' 5 and 7 are caused to overlap' along one side of the bottle and the side members 4 and 6 are caused to overlap along the other side of thebottle.

The flaps 8 and 9 are turned upwardly .to

and 5, 7, respectively.

arranged vertical bottom flaps vthe size of the upper portion form reinforcements along the lower portions of the overlapping side members 4, 6,

The bottle is rectangular in cross section from bottom to top and the upper portion may be gradually reduced in size toward its top, by the provision of folds formed along the score lines 14 and 16,an,d the divergent score lines These folds may be formed either along the interior of the bottle, as shown in Fig. 2, or along the exterior thereof, as shown in Fig. 3, said folds forming a very substantial reinforcement for the bottle.

In the completed bottle, vit is to be understood that the overlapping side members andthe folds and flaps are firmly glued or otherwise cemented and where the bottle is to be used for liquids the entire bottle may be treated with a suitablematerial, such as paraflin, to render the same moisture-proof.

It is` also to be understood that any suitable closure may be provided for the top of the bottle.

Bottles produced from blanks as herein described will be very strong and durable and a number of them may be packed in a very small space for shipment without danger of their collapse.

A paper bottle formed of a single blank having a rectangular bottom, two oppositely arranged vertical sides and two oppositely projecting from the bottom and two pairs of oppositely arranged vertical overlapping side members, and lfolds extending partway the length of the bottle to gradually decrease of the bottle to its top. y
